volume
the amount of space inside an object. Measured in (units of length)3 (i.e. mm3 , cm3 , m3 )
surface area
a the sum of the area of all exposed sides of a three-dimensional shape. Measured in (units of length)2 (i.e. mm2 , cm2 , m2 )
ratio
a comparison between two things to show proportions
surface area : volume ratio (SA:V)
a comparison of the amount of surface area per unit of volume. In Biology, SA:V influences temperature regulation, and a high SA:V leads to more effective transport into and out of cells
